Or is musicmatch really such a speed monster.?
No, I guess Musicmatch is just a low quality monster which doesn't check c2 error pointers while reading. It will work most of the time, but if you try to rip a scratched disc, you probably will get false data without noticing it. I don't know GRIP, but perhaps it cares about quality and is therefore a bit slower. You could try cdda2wav with the paranoia option to see how fast your drive can rip without producing garbage.
